It is unfortunate that in these times of financial duress, many people are getting unlawfully terminated by the companies they work for. But being unlawfully terminated can cause problems for the company when people invoke their rights and sue. So to guide everyone, here are the only circumstances that allow for summary dismissal of an employee:
- willful or intentional disobedience of a lawful order from the employer
- committing serious misconduct, as defined by the company handbook
